Hi,

We run XenServer 6.5 and 7 here - with a range of FreeBSD versions (mostly =
10.x
now). We've not noticed any really low I/O performance.

How are you running dc3dd? - So I can try and install / replicate this here.

We have seen that I/O behaves differently under XenServer than it does on b=
are
metal (which is obvious - i.e. local SATA SSD vs. Multipath iSCSI [or simil=
ar])
you will see differences (even just with 'mapped through XenServer' "Local
Storage").

It could be dc3dd / the stuff you're running is a particularly 'bad case' f=
or
the I/O. e.g. In an equally 'synthetic' test - a regular "dd if=3D/dev/zero
of=3Dtest.dat bs=3D64k count=3D10240" on our our test pool here (which has =
two paths
iSCSI over Gigabit) we get around 220Mbyte/sec to a FreeBSD DomU.

That may well be a best case - and you may well have hit some worst cases.
